Spezia Calcio will host Lecce at the Stadio Alberto Picco on Sunday (January 8) in Serie A.

Spezia played out a 2-2 draw against Atalanta in their last game, squandering a two-goal lead in the final 13 minutes. Spezia are 17th in the league table with just 14 points from 16 games.
Lecce, meanwhile. endured a slow start to their season but have found good form in the league recently and pushing for the top half of the table. They picked up a 2-1 comeback win over Lazio in their last game. Gabriel Strefezza and Lorenzo Colombo got on the scoresheet in the second half to help overturn an early deficit. The visitors are 12th in the standings with 18 points.

Spezia vs Lecce team news
Spezia could be without both of their senior goalkeepers after Jeroen Zoet was withdrawn due to injury against Atalanta, meaning 20-year-old Petar Zovko may start between the posts for the hosts.
Daniele Verde also remains an injury doubt, while Albin Ekdal could be drafted in from the start in order to provide more experience in midfield.
Lecce, meanwhile, will travel without Morten Hjulmand after the holding midfielder received his fifth caution of the season during the win against Lazio on Wednesday.
Youssef Maleh, who joined on loan from Fiorentina last week, could be handed his first start for the club after making his debut from the bench last time out.
